Over the years, I have presented at numerous conferences, workshops and law school classes, teaching students and practitioners about federal Indian Law and tribal law. One of the challenges of teaching tribal law is convincing folks that Native people always had the rule of law. The rule of law was not given to Native people and neither was... |

The media has often highlighted the devastating toll COVID-19 has taken in many parts of Indian country--and that, to be sure, is part of the story. But there are other aspects of the picture as well. On the one hand, tribes have taken resourceful and creative measures to combat COVID-19. On the other, a troublesome doctrinal landscape has... |

TRIBAL LENDING AFTER GINGRAS |

Online payday lenders pose serious risks for consumers. Yet, for years, these lending companies have skirted state regulation by pleading tribal sovereign immunity. Under this doctrine, entities that are so affiliated with tribal nations that they are an arm of the tribe are immune from suit. Without comprehensive federal regulation, tribal... |

TWENTIETH CENTURY BLACK AND NATIVE ACTIVISM AGAINST THE CHILD TAKING SYSTEM: LESSONS FOR THE PRESENT |

American Indians have the highest poverty rate in the United States, and dire poverty ensnares many reservations.
